AIR-MIXING DRUM FOR FORGES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 625,568, dated. 23, 1899.

Application filed A ri123, 1898. Serial No. 678,593. (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, J OHANN KLIMEK, a subject of the Emperor of Germany, and a resident of Mokrau, near Nicolai, Upper Silesia, Germany, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Air-Mixing Drums for Usein Connection with Smiths Fires, of which the followingis afull, clear, and exact description.

The present invention consists of an airmixing drum for use in connection with smiths fires, said drum being bricked into the wall of the fire-hole between it and the bellows-nozzle and serving to mix the cold air coming from the bellows with the warm air in the drum previous to its entrance into the fire.

In order to render the present specification more easily intelligible, reference is had to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 represents a vertical section through a smiths fire; and Fig. 2, a detail of the drum in section on line II II, Fig. 1.

The drum A is bricked into the wall of the fire, one end 0 of the same lying directly in or against the fire. The said drum is divided into two chambers by a partition-wall b, having an upper orifice 0, and having its diameter slightly smaller than that of the drum, so as to leave a small opening 0 all around,whicl1 is only interrupted by the metal left to support the plate I) in the drum. At the lower interior end of the drum the nozzle 8 is arranged, while the nozzle of the bellows d e11= ters the chamber a of the drum. By means of this arrangement the cold air entering the fire will first impinge against the baffle-plate b and then flow into the side 0 of the drum,

where it will be mixed thoroughly with the air therein, which is warmed by the proximity of the fire, the plate I) spraying the air into the said end 0 of the drum, whence it passes to the fire in a heated condition through the nozzle 2.

I claim as my invention- The combination with aforge-pot of a drum A bricked in the wall of the pot as specified, a substantiallyvertically disposed baffle-plate 12 within said drum intermediate of its length and having an upper opening formed by an inverse-arc recess in the circumference of said plate, and a substantially annular space between its adjacent edges and the walls of'the drum, a nozzle e at the lower part of the in terior drumhead extending into the fire-pot, a nozzle extending through the outer dru mhead at the lower part thereof, said nozzle being in communication with the wind-supply pipe substantially as described.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two Witnesses.

J OHANN KLIMEK.
